John McIntire came to folk dance reluctantly in the mid 1970's when he was "invited" to attend the weekly English Country Dance in Portland, Oregon.
In 1992, he took a calling workshop offered by Nancy Rosalie and sought out Ted Sannella as a mentor. John now calls New England contra, square and circle dances at venues around Maine where his clear and patient teaching makes the dancing accessible to all.
He has called at various festivals around New England, the Northwest Folklife Festival, and serves on the NEFFA Ralph Page Memorial Committee.
Along with life partner Nancy Rosalie, he also leads a monthly English Country Dance.
